This is one of my favorite dosa recipes. The best part is that it’s healthy as well and hence I can shut out all the guilt that comes from eating other favorite foods like buttery crossiants for example. Also, it’s a cooling dish which is the need of everyday in this tropical heat! The not…

Onion Coriander Soup #MonsoonMojo
I totally hate the end slices of store bought bread. My brother and I always traded favours so that the other person would have the end slice. It sounds silly to me today but I still try to pass those slices to the husband (who thankfully doesn’t mind). So when my mom found this…
Theratipal
You could think why I’m displaying this sudden burst of excess love for my mother’s recipe.simple! She is due to visit next month and I need all the practice I can get. Today I tried making theratipal after ages – the first time since I moved to Malaysia. The best part about making this one…
Rava Kunuku / Semolina Fritters #MonsoonMojo
I live in a weird location. Suddenly it’s hot beyond measure and suddenly it starts to pour. One minute you want a lemonade and the next moment you are craving for a piping hot masala chai. So if we want to enjoy the rain (we really want to ) then we need a quick…
Delicious Almond ‘Cake’
This recipe for Almond / badam ‘cake’ ( not cake, cake…Indian sweet) has been tried and tested and tasted few hundred times. It is my mom’s recipe or as my sis-in-law and I call her, ‘You know who’! Mom is an amazing mother, wife, mother-in-law, performer, speaker, etc. BUT, if you dare take one…
Lotus Root Chips #MonsoonMojo

That is a tough proposition since we are vegetarians (flexible on eggs) and this is a seafood paradise. So, as a first step, I decided to start adapting local vegetables that aren’t…
Cabbage nu Muthia
My internet connection is driving me nuts. It went on a fifty day vacation which is beyond its annual leave quota it’s finally back but is still in vacation mode and is willing to work only with innumerable additional perks. So since I can’t disconnect it, I decided to reduce my dependence on it. I dug…
Orange flavored lentil ladoos
I am an accidental cook, someone who never thought would be in the kitchen longer than it takes for a glass of water. But the roller coaster of life had me come rollicking into the kitchen and parked here for sometime to come.Life in the kitchen has been full of surprises. One such surprise was…
Sweet potato and black bean chimichanga
Today is one of those ‘crazy for no reason’ days. In the middle of such a day I had a sudden intense craving for sweet potato. But I had a dish to make and a blog post to write on tortilla based dishes. So I decided to find a connection between sweet potatoes and tortillas….
Cheesy Paneer Enchiladas
CHEESY PANEER ENCHILADAS My entry for today under Tortilla based dishes is Paneer Enchiladas. This recipe has everything I love – paneer, mushroom and cheese! So I was pretty excited making it. The good thing is that the husband hates paneer and so I usually get to have the lion’s share of all paneer-ness. Now…
